Section 52 - The Imperial Treasury

The wind blows the bamboo leaves, rustling endlessly, making it easy for people to quickly calm down a heart that is disturbed by mundane affairs and immerse themselves in the unique peaceful environment of this bamboo forest. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

What's even more amazing is that each bamboo here is not a round pole, but an angular square, so it is also called a square bamboo forest.

With the guards of the Jiedu Mansion who led the way, through the winding bamboo forest path, a three-story snow-white black tile pavilion appeared in Li Xiaobai's sight, it happened to be located in the middle of the square bamboo forest, and it was the most quiet place in the entire Jiedu Mansion, even the sound of the hammering of the blacksmith workshop could not pass through the bamboo forest to come here, as if it was the most precious pure land in the military town of Karez, isolating all iron, blood, fire and other killings.

Under the eaves of the ground floor of this three-storey exquisite pavilion, a black plaque is hung, on which are written "Feng Wolf Dao Imperial Treasury", which are five vigorous characters full of the atmosphere of Jin Ge Iron Horse.

The Imperial Treasury set up in each province is a standing transit warehouse for the royal family to collect various treasures and art materials, and is protected by each provincial section government.

The knots have a certain degree of dominance, but they cannot be opened without great merit.

In addition, the imperial treasury was personally guarded by reliable royal worshippers, which to a certain extent avoided the self-theft of these feudal officials.

With the help of the imperial treasury as a channel to enrich his internal funds, the emperor could go beyond the imperial court, do what he wanted without using the treasury, or win over the monks of the martial arts for his own use, as another exclusive force to control the imperial court and the entire empire, and maintain the ruling power of the imperial family.

"Li Gongzi, the little one can only take you here!"

The guard of the Jiedu Mansion stopped at the foot of the stone steps of the small pavilion and stood aside with his hands down.

"You can get in with these two wooden signs, right?"

Li Xiaobai raised his hand, two yellow cancan, palm-sized wooden plaques with clear wood grain were held in the palm of his hand, and the three words "Reward Order" were engraved on the card, and behind it was the official seal of the Wolf Dao Jiedu Mansion.

"Yes!" the guard nodded, and then added, "The little one will be waiting for you here." ”

"Got it!"

Li Xiaobai glanced up and down at this small pavilion, and then walked up the stairs.

As soon as he stepped on the first step of the rough-looking bluestone steps, a crisp sword groan suddenly sounded in his ears.

Keng!~~~

Li Xiaobai frowned slightly, and a moment before the sword chant sounded, he felt an invisible pressure rushing towards his face, but it disappeared with the sound of the sword chant.

To this day, Li Xiaobai has touched some of the mysteries of the mysterious lotus bud in his heart, and as soon as any spell falls on him, it will be immediately dispelled by the sword roar emitted by the lotus bud.

This spontaneous protection didn't give him peace of mind, as if it was a trap or a spell with a physical striking effect, the sword chant would become useless.

He is not the incorruptible body of King Kong after all, if he falls from a high place, he will fall into a piece of flesh without accident.

The sound of the sword was triggered in his ears, which meant that most of the spells were arranged on this short step leading to the three-story pavilion as a test for those who climbed the steps.

A slight smile appeared on his face, and Li Xiaobai took the second step without hesitation.

Keng!~~~

With a lotus in his chest, when the breeze blows on his face, his gestures are like a leisurely stroll.

Step 3!

Keng!~~~

As Li Xiaobai expected, each order has hidden spells, and the first order is more powerful than the first order, although it does not have lethality, but those who are not enough to cultivate should retreat.

The sword in his heart was like a sharp sword, easily cutting through the large array of coiled silk blocking the front, and suddenly the way appeared, but it did not touch the blade.

When Li Xiaobai took the fourth step without hindrance, someone in the small pavilion seemed to be surprised, as if it was strange that a mortal who did not have the slightest aura on his body could step on the steps without hindrance and take four steps in a row, which was almost an incredible strange thing in the past.

Knort! Knort!

......

The sword groaned more than a dozen times in a row, and Li Xiaobai finally stepped on the top of the steps, and when he went further, the sword groan in his ears no longer sounded, which meant that he had passed this level.

A few steps to the closed pavilion door, he was about to raise his hand and knock lightly, but he heard a squeak, and the elegant carved wooden door opened on its own in front of him.

"Please come in!"

An old voice came into Li Xiaobai's ears, causing him to involuntarily cross the threshold and walk into this small pavilion.

As soon as the person walked in, the open pavilion door closed again.

Li Xiaobai narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw the environment inside the door clearly, the pavilion was not as dark as it felt when he stood outside the door, and more than a dozen oil lamps reflected each other, illuminating most of the space.

On the first floor of the Imperial Pavilion, there is no trace of splicing, like a pale yellow flat floor, as if it was poured directly from the cement whole, the surface is carefully polished and supplemented by wax, faintly exuding an oily luster, looking like a whole large piece of water-polished granite or marble.

Sniffling, he couldn't help but sniff lightly, he smelled a hint of honey, the wax used in this floor tile was not paraffin or other wax, but beeswax, so there was still a slight honey aroma in the air.

"Bring it!"

Li Xiaobai followed the prestige and saw an old man in black robe sitting cross-legged in the center of this small pavilion, and a faint pillar of light was cast from the top of the pavilion, which happened to illuminate him and his body within three feet.

With the light falling from the sky and the surrounding lights, the pale yellow ground under the old man was covered with strange textures and lines, as if it was a huge magic circle, and he was at the very core.

"Are those two?"

Li Xiaobai spread out his right hand, and two wooden plaques with clear textures lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

A wooden card represents a great achievement, and you can only receive one thing in the imperial treasury, and two wooden cards can receive two things.

"Two pieces?"

The black-robed old man raised his hand and made a move, as if there was an invisible hand, grabbing the two wooden cards on Li Xiaobai's palm and flying into his hand.

The palm print stroked the wood, and the aura was swirling, and the authenticity was verified in a moment.

His deep gaze looked up and down as he walked up the steps and into the pavilion without a trace.

"You've done two great things?"

According to his duties, he shouldn't have asked Li Xiaobai what kind of merit he had made, and he was able to obtain two precious merit orders, but he was very curious that the other party had no trace of aura on him, but he was able to break through the magic circle under the stairs outside the pavilion door without hindrance, so he became somewhat interested in the story behind the two merit orders.

"Hehe, without him, kill people, save people!

Li Xiaobai smiled, he has never been a high-profile person, and he told his credit in simple words.

"Who to kill, who to save?"

The black-robed old man became more and more interested, and even wanted to break the casserole and ask to the end.

Li Xiaobai said indifferently: "The commander of the killing people, the Grand Duke of the Silver Knife, Pa Kelu, dedicated the disinfection and suturing technique to treat injuries and poisons, and saved me as a great warrior, have the old men ever been satisfied?"

There is no doubt that the other party should be a warlock, but no matter whether his cultivation is strong or weak, the attitude of the warlocks towards mortals like ants and mustards makes him angry, and naturally he is not in much mood to talk to the other party.

Killing the enemy commander among the ten thousand armies deserves a reward order, and the attack of wounds and poisons has ruined the lives of countless brave men, if it can be cured, hiss...... The old man still couldn't help but gasp in his heart, even if it was just an ordinary medical skill, but if it spread, I am afraid that the blessings will be endless!

If it can be effective, don't say that a reward order, even ten yuan deserves it.

"Satisfied!

The black-robed old man seemed to appreciate Li Xiaobai's merits, he slowly stood up, beckoned to Li Xiaobai, and said, "Come here!"

Li Xiaobai walked over as he said.

"Stand still, don't panic!"

The black-robed old man flicked his sleeves, and the textures and lines on the ground suddenly lit up, and then a crack appeared in the circle that surrounded him and Li Xiaobai in the middle, and the ground inside the circle slowly sank down.

Li Xiaobai lost his mind slightly, and then reacted, it turned out that the secret of this imperial treasury was not in the upper floors, but in the underground at the bottom of the pavilion.

The two of them were immediately engulfed in darkness that could not be seen, except for a slight tremor and a slight sense of weightlessness under their feet, as if they were still standing in place without moving.

In the dark, the black-robed old man glanced to his side, and the young man's reaction was inevitably too calm, not only did he breathe and beat his heart as usual, but he didn't even shake his body for half a moment.

Isn't it just an elevator?

Where did Li Xiaobai know the surprise in the other party's heart, and still waited to arrive at the destination peacefully.

He didn't have to wait long, and a light came up from below, replacing the darkness.

The soles of the feet shook slightly, and the round "elevator" and the ground closed tightly, which was the same as the ground on the first floor of the small loft that I had seen before.

There is a stone room around, only more than 30 squares, three walls seem to be made of whole stone, there is no trace of gaps, and there are two simple red lacquered wooden doors on the other wall, just like the main door of the hall house of ordinary people, neither inlaid with gold and silver, nor strange and mysterious magic circle patterns, just a simple, completely biased practical wooden door.

If you don't experience it yourself, I'm afraid it's hard to guess that there will be such a sophisticated mechanism here.

Looking up, I only saw a small white dot shining in the sky on the top of the pavilion, and I didn't know how many meters from the ground there were.

"Ahem, come with me!"

Just when Li Xiaobai looked at the stone room where the hidden mechanism was placed, the black-robed old man had already come to the outside of the circle, and coughed as if he was reminding.

"Good!"

Li Xiaobai reacted immediately, nodded, and followed the black-robed old man to the wooden door of the stone room.

As soon as he left with his front feet, the circular ground that carried the two of them to this stone room rose again, and below it was a pale yellow stone pillar of unknown height, which blocked the round hole in the roof of the room in a blink of an eye.
